If you want to avoid most of the furbys, there is a log fence next to the cave that you can sneak by. At first it doesn't look like you can get in, but walk up the hill to it and go to your right, then walk through. Now all you have to deal with is the 2 that guard the cave. Yes, you can get a buff by killing a red, but it only lasts 5 min and that may not always be enough. There are actually 2 log fences that I saw, one was closer to the camp; I didn't see a way in there. Nor is the cave on the other side. The coords for the one next to the cave are 49.2,58.8.The coords by the road below the fence are 50,52.4. There are 4 small rocks and one large rock with a tiny tree at that spot. There are mushrooms by the small rock next to the tree. ( for those w/o coords) :)

Orsonn's cave can be accessed via an alternate path found just northwest of it.

Kodian and Orsonn's Stories (Spoiler Alert!)

Orsonn's Story

I once roamed the Grizzly Hills, son to the great Ursoc, who ruled over this land.

But now... now I'm doomed to spend the rest of my life in this cave.

You're free to go Orsonn, but first tell me what's wrong with the furbolg.

You don't understand. If I wanted to I could fight my way out of this cave.

it's my father, Ursoc. He has returned from the dead... but he's not the same.

He gave his life during the War of the Ancients thousands of years go. For centuries, the furbolg who worshipped him tried to devise a way to resurrect him.

Finally they decided they were to attempt to regrow the failed world tree, Vordrassil, and use its magic to bring back my father.

What happened then?

The sapling they grew bore a fruit. At first it seemed to work. Ursoc did come back and I was filled with joy for a brief moment.

As he recovered, it was clear that he wasn't the same. Neither were the furbolg.

Whatever evil caused the ancient druids to tear down Vordrassil manifested itself in the new tree and turned them all into monsters filled with bloodlust.

The thing that now walks the Grizzly Hills is not my father and must be put to rest.

Thank you, Son of Ursoc. I'll see what can be done.

Kodian's Story

I am Kodian, daughter of Ursoc. I watch over this once sacred shrine.

I've not seen a stranger come here in a long time.

Who was this stranger?

A furbolg named Tur Ragepaw. Not one of ours.

This one came from the southern lands. He was of the Timbermaw tribe.

He wanted to see Ursoc. He seemed to think that Vordrassil's taint could be purified and used to save my father.

It is foolish to entertain such hopes. You will agree when you see the darkness that has afflicted him like I have.
